A referee may either "accept" or "reject" a refereed document.
The referee's decision is stored in a file in the submission's working

table (sbmAPPROVAL) to be either "accepted" or "rejected" depending
upon the referee's decision.

NOTE: A referee's decision _MUST_ be either "accept" or "reject".

If a document's "approval status" is not "waiting" at the
time of the referee's decision, the decision will not be
taken into account and the submission will be halted.

that has already been approved or rejected, has been
withdrawn, etc.)
